[MV Review] SPEED - LoveyDovey+

SPEED debuts with Lovey Dovey+. Full review after the jump. (No lure this time. D: )

CCM's new boy band is a subunit comprised of the irrelevant male members of Co-Ed. CCM's grand plan to compete with the likes of BAP, EXO, and NU'EST (Holy shit these names are stupid), is to have them debut with someone else's song. The official word calls it an "hommage" but we all know CCM probably couldn't be fucked to come up with a new song for them, having spent far too much on hush money.

The MV itself is a seizure-inducing, rapid fire sequence of cutaways of the dance and random close ups. Just like T-ara's I Go Crazy Because of You... Hmmmmmmmm. Being totally in black and white doesn't help the viewers' attempts not to burn out their retinas either. Oh and apparently Hyomin was partly responsible for the MV's terribadding, having dedicated a sleepless night to helping edit the damn thing.

Lovey Dovey+ is not just an over-glorified cover of someone else's song, oh no. It's not nearly as simple as that. Because SPEED apparently lacks vocalists, they cut out all the "vocally demanding" parts (and I say this with tongue firmly in cheek, cause everyone knows the original Lovey Dovey was not hard to sing at all), and stuck pretty shitty raps in instead. In addition to cutting up Lovey Dovey's body, SPEED decided to shit all over it too by splicing in Michael Jackson moves into the choreography(on record as the Billie Jean era, read: every iconic MJ move).

The King of Pop is rolling in his grave.

I will give them a bit of credit for modifying the original Lovey Dovey dance to be slightly more technical than "Every Day We Shufflin" though.

Thankfully, CCM decided to throw in the Ryu Twins to save this horrible travesty of a song. However, even in outside of T-ara and being one of the main focal points in someone else's MV, Hwayoung still manages to get the shaft from life. The majority of screen time is given to Hyoyoung, from being in the dance shots to getting solo closeups. Hyoyoung even gets her own solo closeup version of Lovey Dovey+, and as of now, Hwayoung doesn't seem to be getting one herself.

Righteous.

The funniest thing about the whole deal is the crazy fangirl response to the MV(s).

Key lulz I want to point out:

People are criticizing the bad lipsyncing. Yes, it's a bad job, but the way they're going about it makes it seem as if they don't realize that ALL music videos are lipsyncing.

They don't seem to realize that Hwayoung and Hyoyoung are just lipsyncing and don't actually sound like that.

This MV pretty much proves that Hyomin is indeed the biggest troll in CCM. She sacrificed ONE night of sleep in order to make a seizure inducing video to troll on us viewers. This is probably the single most dedicated act of trolling I've ever heard of.

Twins are everything I've ever dreamed of. Imagine the most powerful, mind-blowing, dick-busting orgasm you could possibly conceive of. Then multiply it by two.

Then there was that nipple. I could feel my one-handed skill increasing as I charged my thunder stick with that vivid .gif still fresh in my mind. The feeling was indescribable when I added Hyoyoung's nipple in for good measure. Then suddenly my mom open the door, get on the floor, everyone walk the dinosaur

Good job, Hyomin. Now, you're officially the Queen of troll in K-Pop world. Keep trolling because I love to see fangirls' eyes ball burst after watching the MV that you edit. KKS must be really proud now since he have the successor to keep trolling after he die and Cha Eun Taek can die in peace now because he get an apprentice to keep torture viewers eyes with flashing, rapid change of frame MV.

yeah it's a whole trolling thing using the same name LOL a lot of people will go and say 'this is not SPEED' because SPEED are Hiroko, Eriko, Takako and Hitoe. It would've been OK if SPEED were a fail of a group, but on the 1990's were one of the #1 Asian girl groups, and despite disbanding, they came back together and still are treated as legends, even if they don't sell like that anymore LOL. They're still pretty popular and J-Pop International fans do know them, which will cause more than one awkward situation for sure.
